The outlet said that TJ, 45, used to work at CNN in Atlanta, GA, back in 2007.
Atlanta was where Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas is originally from and they apparently met there and dated for a while.
Sources at CNN told TMZ that TJ and Chilli, 51, were "super affectionate" to each other and that those who worked at CNN saw them together a lot.
Their relationship wasn't an affair like Amy and TJ's was, as he was already divorced from his first wife, Amy Ferson, at the time.

And he did not marry his second wife, Marilee Fiebig, until 2010.
They filed for divorce in 2022, after TJ and Amy's affair was made public.
It is not clear how long the couple dated as sources for both of the celebrities gave two different answers: TJ's said a year while Chilli's answered a few months.
A former staff member at CNN told TMZ that everyone liked TJ and thought he was "really cool" and "super good-looking."

Chilli is one of three members of the girl group, TLC, who is best known for the songs No Scrubs and Waterfalls.
'WAIT A MINUTE'
GMA fans were shocked to hear that the host dated the famous singer and took to Twitter to react.
"Really?" asked one follower.
"Chilli? Really?" said another.
One Twitter user simply gave a thumbs-up emoji.
"BUT WAIT A MINUTE... Chilli and TJ Holmes together? Betch [sic]..." tweeted a shocked fan.
"I heart Chilli. I wonder why [she] and TJ broke up?" asked one fan.
Some fans, however, were not shocked and said they "didn't care."
ANCHORED DOWN
Chilli isn't the only woman TJ has been linked to outside of his marriage.
According to the DailyMail, the host allegedly had a three-year affair with another married co-worker prior to Amy.
Amy and former GMA producer Natasha Singh - the woman who TJ allegedly had the first affair with - were reportedly close friends.
The outlet reported that TJ and Natasha's affair began in 2016, while he was married to Marilee.
Natasha, 37, was married to movie producer Garrett Braren at the time, but the two have since split.
That affair reportedly lasted three years, until 2019 - despite Natasha's departure from GMA and subsequent move to CBS in 2017.
The host was allegedly able to salvage his marriage to his wife at the time.
However, he is reportedly now entangled with Amy Robach, who was a close friend of Natasha's.
Daily Mail reports that the two women were featured in multiple photos together on Instagram.
The two reportedly celebrated Amy's 49th birthday together in February.
Amy also featured photos of her, Natasha, and another GMA producer, Erin Brady, who allegedly knew about Natasha's affair with TJ, Daily Mail reported.
CHASING NEW WATERFALLS
Chilli and TJ have long moved on from each other and have been with other people.
As TJ finds himself entangled with Amy, the singer is now dating actor, Matthew Lawrence.
Chilli's rep, Christal Jordan, confirmed to Peopleon January 3 that they are together and became a couple just before Thanksgiving.
They spent the holiday together in Atlanta, where the 42-year-old met Chilli's family.
The couple also went Instagram official over New Year's when they posted a video of them dancing together in matching pyjamas.
She and the Brotherly Love actor were photographed on a beach together in Hawaii last August, fueling the dating rumors.
"I've been with Chilli since 2005 and I've never seen her this in love," Christal told PEOPLE. "She is glowing. They are really cute together."

Matthew was previously linked to Dancing With The Stars' former pro, Cheryl Burke, before their divorce was finalized last year.
Cheryl seemed to have shaded her ex when she wrote, "That was fast" to her Instagram story after news of his new relationship broke.
